Okay, no, really. Why am I locked out of IRC? I go to see who's there? Problem loading page. I go to sign in? Ditto. It's breakin' my heart! Help me, tech-savvy bunnies!

Looks like the SlashNET web server is down. But the IRC server itself is still up and running. I'm logged in now, with a bunch of other people.

Your usual IRC client should be able to connect as normal. Or do you normally use the web-based IRC client? If so, you'll have to download a standalone client, such as mIRC for Windows or Colloquy for the Mac. Feel free to IM me if you need a hand.

Yeah it's been playing silly buggers for a while. Some can get in some can't.

I got kicked off it for a bit myself.

The SlashNET IRC server is not working well at all.
